Brett McKay and Ryan O’Connell have made good on their promise to return before State of Origin 2. Just.
Heading into this possible decider, which has been strangely quiet, the boys have managed to preview Game 2 by tackling some curly Origin questions.
They also ponder the plight of the Wallabies, and bid an underwhelming farewell to the Champions Trophy cricket tournament.
Also, don’t miss Ryan’s free child-minding tips for Origin!
1. NSW are 1-0 up, going into Game 2 in Sydney. Why does this still feel like a toss-of-the-coin prediction?
2. Why will NSW win?
3. Why will Queensland win?
4. Have the Wallabies hit rock bottom yet?
5. Will anyone miss the Champions Trophy, likely to be replaced by a 20-team WT20?
As always, if there’s a question you want the boys to answer, get in touch via Twitter @CheapSeatsPod, and use the old favourite, #AskTheCheapSeats.
As always, you can hear the podcast on Soundcloud, iTunes, and the TuneIn radio app.
And stay cheap!

On QLD loyalty; I think it's fair to say the QLD idea is to give the players from last year a run even if there's a perception they may not be up to it due to club form etc -- they don't stick with players who don't perform when they pull the QLD jersey on, but they don't axe players who performed in the lasting outing based on club games either. The 2013 series was a pretty obvious example; they picked Shillington and Harrison for the first game on their 2012 efforts, however when they failed to perform for QLD they got moved on.
